You may not know how long it takes, but there might be an indication of how many percent of the task is done. I.e. number records read ( written, deleted ) of so many in total that could be passed on to the user as progress bar.
Well, sure. We do that everywhere where we know how many items we will get in total. But this is just what we don't know in those cases where we use that new busy animation. For example, while reading an XML file you'll never know how many items and subitems it has until you are finished reading it. You also get no information as to the current file position such an XML reader is, so we also can't use the total file size and the offset of the record that is currently being read. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
